Nitro fumes on 1:1 scale

[Hoobajoob]

it wouldnt get hot enough to burn straight nitro. and compression isnt enough. you can throw a match at nitro and it wont burn. pour some on the ground and hit it with a hammer and watch what happens.its kinda like c4, you can set a match to c4 it will burn slow like a piece of wood. you can shoot it and it wont do any thing, it takes a large pressure/shock wave to ignite it to explosive levels. same with nitro in 100% form. 100% is too hard to light even for funnycars thats why they start them on alcohol and then switch to nitro. it you look at a funny car and the plugs they run they dont even look like a spark plug. they run two plugs per cyl not only to burn all the fuel being dumped in each cyl(which it only burns a small portion and the rest gets spit out the exhaust hence the huge cool flames we get to see) but to create higher pressure and ignition to burn the fuel period.
